Schaaf Window Co. continues to be industry leader
Since its founding in
1959, Schaaf Window Co.
has prided itself on providing
the highest quality and
best valued products to its
customers.
This philosophy has
helped grow Schaaf Window
Co. into an industry
leader, distributing a wide
range of quality windows
and related products
throughout Chicagoland.
As many satisfied customers
have come to
know, Schaaf Window offers
not only products and
services on which customers
can depend, but also a
long-lasting partnership
with every one of its customers,
both builders and
homeowners alike.
A family owned business,
Schaaf Window began
with a focus on customer
satisfaction. Today,
it maintains that unwavering
commitment to superior
service, offering a
wide range of products and
services to builders, contractors
and homeowners
throughout Chicagoland.
Schaaf Window is a onestop
distributor of high
quality windows, exterior
doors, interior doors, skylights,
millwork, mirrors,
glass and shower doors.
They back up their products
with years of technical
experience and a courteous
customer service
staff. In an effort to better
serve their customers and
provide a wider variety
of options, they’ve added
two new window product
lines this year — Weather
Shield Windows & Doors
and MI Windows — to go
along to their existing lines
of Jeld-Wen Windows &
Doors. Customers can now
see these products, along
with the rest of their offerings,
in Schaaf’s newly
redesigned showroom.
Schaaf offers installation
of windows, doors
and shower doors using
its own employees, who
are trained to the manufacturer’s
specifications.
They will meet customers
at their homes or job sites
for a no-cost estimate.
From its facility in Tinley
Park, Schaaf serves
homeowners and a wide
range of builders, from
tract to custom to highend.
Its 91,000-squarefoot
facility is a home
base for its employees to
serve all of Chicagoland.
They serve each customer
personally, with a suite of
professional resources to
offer.
As their business has
continued to grow, so has
their reach. Schaaf recently
acquired Area Glass Co.
out of St. John, Indiana,
which has allowed them
to reach a whole new set
of customers and expand
their business’s capabilities.
They’ve also moved
onto many social media
platforms, such as Facebook
and Instagram, where
they encourage interested
homeowners to follow and
keep in touch with the variety
of products they have
to offer.

How to select the best ceiling fans for home interiors
StatePoint Media
If you have a “less is
more” outlook on home
decorating purchasing decisions,
you probably want
your lighting fixtures to
not only be functional, but
also fashionable elements
that complement other accessories
and contribute
to your overall interior
design. When it comes to
ceiling fans, experts say
that by shopping around,
you can find a highly functional
fixture that can even
serve as the focal point of
a room.
“Today’s ceiling fans
incorporate beautiful features,
such as hand carved
blades, sleek finishes and
natural elements to appeal
to a variety of different
design trends,” said Steve
Register, ceiling fan product
manager for Progress
Lighting.
So how do you select the
best one for your space?
Choose your features
• Versatile functionality.
Do you want to use your
ceiling fan year-round?
Simply select a fan with
reversible blades for the
option to circulate cool
air in summer or warm
air in winter.
• Efficiency. To save energy
and green your home,
consider an Energy Star
rated fixture.
• Lighting. To get in on
today’s lighting trends,
go for a layered lighting
design in your space by
installing a light kit or
selecting a fan with a
pre-installed fixture.
• Control. Some fans feature
full-range dimming
and full-function remote
control capabilities, to
offer added convenience
in controlling a room’s
environment.
Size it to your space
Size is really important
when selecting a ceiling
fan. If a fan is too large, it
can overwhelm the space.
On the flip side, if the fan
is too small, the airflow
may be inadequate. The
American Lighting Association
suggests the following
fan sizes compared
to square footage:
• Up to 75 square feet: 36
inches or less
• 75-144 square feet: 36-42
inches
• 144-225 square feet: 44-
40 inches
• 225-400 square feet: 50-
54 inches
Find your style
Once you’ve identified
the size and application
of your fan, it’s time
for the fun part: choosing
a style that complements
your style. Consider fan
shape, blade features and
finish to help you meet the
room’s design needs. You
can view Progress Lighting’s
ceiling fan offerings,
which include coastal,
transitional, traditional
and farmhouse styles, at
progresslighting.com.
For a simple home upgrade
that goes a long way,
consider a ceiling fan with
all the features you’ll want
and need for year-round
comfort and beauty.
